I had Juvederm injected below my eyes to fill in hollows, and now I have pillows instead. It looks horrible. My doctor said that only surgery would fix this and he stated I should have had eyelid surgery all along. He suggested I initially try the injection because I cannot afford surgery right now.
Injections under the eyes can and often do result in bumps or ridges. Hyaluronidase is the solution we inject to dissolve juvederm. it often takes a few sessions of injections given at 1 week apart ($150/session).
Hi Anon,
Sorry for your bad experience and puffy eyelids after Juviderm. What we usually say is that it's not the "filler", it's the person putting the filler in. You may have had too much lower lid fullness from fat for the Juviderm to be effective, but in that case it should not be used. The use of fillers and even Botox are medical procedures that should be performed by cosmetically trained board certified physicians in a cosmetic field (plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery, ENT, dermatology, oculoplastic surgery).
At this point if massage and tincture of time do not improve your puffiness, you may consider hyaluronidase injections to diminish the Juviderm. Good luck and be well.
